Brilliant drama but that’s got to be up there with the worst ever penalty shoot outs.

I’d love to know what Wiegman said to them in the post shoot-out huddle when she appeared to start off with “Please, please, please….”

If a GK wants to try and take the winning penalty, they have to score. End of. Otherwise it's like missing a panenka. Leave it to the outfield players.

TBF I've seen worse shoot-out's in men's football without any reference to the participant's gender - for example, the 1986 European Cup Final.

England were fortunate in the extreme there, not because of the pens, but because Sweden were better over the 120 minutes, apart from a 20/25 minute bit in the 2nd half after the subs came on. Agyemang has a terrible first touch but the Swedes didn't relish going up against her.

Gotta feel sorry for Falk. To save 4 out of 7 pens and still go out is a bit :shock:

Is Beever Jones injured?

With injuries I suppose Wiegman had her hands tied somewhat but I'd have liked to have seen her come on for Russo at some stage.

Yep, especially as Hampton didn't do nearly as much - three of the Swedes missed completely rather than requiring saves.

Pepe the Horseman Jess Carter having a shitter.


She is so slow it's scary; the Swedes had obviously seen here in the Group games and thought "weak link; exploit her total lack of pace" and then did so with relish.

Total co-incidence that within minutes of her being subbed, England score twice.

Only just switched this on, but is it fair to say Switzerland have got the fittest team in the tournament? We must be near the bottom with our bunch of talented munters.
